"They've betrayed my trust but I wish them well" is an interesting statement.

Someone doing harm to you doesn't automatically mean you wish harm to them. Not that I necessarily take what Garry says at face value but it's definitely possible to unironically take this viewpoint.

Everyone one of us makes mistakes. Wish all well and see what the future brings.

It's the polite way of saying goodbye when you actually mean "eff off"

"they can fuck off from where they came" would be a bit too intense even for Gary

Don't you wish well on people you don't want to associate with? It would be interesting if you didn't, imo.

"I wish them well" is an idiom for "I never want to see them again".

Kinda like "bless your heart", which means nothing of the sort.

Apparently Garry Tan has the same warm feelings and friendly relationship with Delve as Trump has with Ghislaine Maxwell.
